Knutby
Knutby is a small village that's just 4 Km away from where we live.
This is actually where our affix comes from. First we wanted to have Lillebo, the name of our
house, but we were not allowed to. So we started to think of a name, part English, part Swedish for Knutby.
"Knut" is knot in English, and "by" is village.
Combined they would make Knotvillage, it didn't sound to nice. We tried with changing village
to Town. That was better Knottown. But being Swedish the first letter K would be pronounced
and it would sound strange, so we took the K away Nottown. We're getting there...
It still looked funny with the two t:s in the middle. So once again, erase one t and we had Notown.
And truly, Knutby isn't a town it is just a small village.
The size of Knutby??? If you go out an evening to see what's going on in the village, you will most likely
find that that's the ongoing thing,,, you are out walking. :)
What I'm trying to say is that the dot on the map showing where Knutby is located is in
size far to large to suite the scale of the map.
